How High

Massachusetts 1997

This is me
This is him
My sketched soul
My crude materialism
My religious point of view
The Christ arranging agony
Numbing blood clots to jaw
Unreeling lamplight habit
Shrinking veins to rockets
Red man bulldozer
Cornering exact blue dislike
For the blue stood fruit
Vociferating mammal love
Motherly fatherly sisterly
Horizontally you left me
Spectacularly attracting ashes
Engulfing teethed lies
Wasteful marched prayers for sinners
Sodding the tongued blissful joy
Corrupting my pupils communion tablets
 Blow cloud-banked dismay fumbling exhale
Pale blue hills of incline preferred embraced handshakes
No frames of worship just indigo lit light
Lighting blank paper to live in the quiet of it’s tapestry
Where the soul bends every numbing finger to stem

‘How High’ – Resides in a dusty post High School portfolio with freckled love notes 

About Mari

There is a worn grain embedded in this fabric longing to be read.
